Bug ID: 241635
Summary: tr(1) produces ridiculous error message
Product: Base System
Version: 12.0-RELEASE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: b...@freebsd.org
Reporter: rfg-free...@tristatelogic.com
The tr(1) command can sometimes produce the following error message:
tr: Illegal byte sequence
Perhaps rms is not the best person to be quoting anymore thes days, but I
clearly remember, back in the day, he used to always poke fun at this kind of
silly error message.
"Illegal" ??? Will I be taken to jail now?
Gosh I hope not.
If I am going to be busted and taken to jail, I would prefer that it be for
some REALLY henious crime... not for merely passing an "illegal" byte sequence
into the tr utility.
Somebody should fix the message so that it ain't so silly.
